Russell Barnes has, in Raspi.today, created what I’m sure will be a hotly-followed website. His latest podcast is an interview with Alex Eames who runs RasPi.tv, is co-creator of the HDMIPi screen that many people are waiting for and has launched his own set of product called RasPiO. It’s a great interview and I’m really glad Russell’s keeping it going. Listen to the podcast here.

Franco Raimondi wanted to explore the possibilities of the Pi’s GPIO pins through Java.
